Rejuvenate Your Smile With Dental Implants in Scarborough

Dental implants may be your smile rejuvenation solution if you’ve lost one or more teeth! At Cedarbrae Dental in Scarborough, we’ve helped countless patients restore their smiles with dental implants, and we’d love to answer any questions you have about this restorative solution, what’s involved, and whether it’s right for you!

What are dental implants, and what benefits do they offer?

A dental implant is a small, screw-like post that replaces extracted tooth roots. The implant is designed to restore the patient's ability to chew and speak, improve facial volume, stimulate the jawbone, and boost confidence when speaking and smiling. A customized dental crown is placed on the implant to complete the restoration process.

Dental implants are placed during outpatient surgery, which is performed in stages. This ensures that healing can take place between each step, helping the implant anchor in the jawbone.

Who is an ideal candidate for dental implants?

While many patients who have experienced tooth loss will be viable candidates for dental implants, they must have healthy gums and strong jawbone density. Patients with weak or minimal jawbone density may still be able to have an implant placed, though they may require bone grafting before the implant procedure begins.
